Rehearsals began last Monday – with the first perfomance scheduled for mid-February. Directed and coreographed by Tony Award winner Jerry Mitchell, the production will count on supporting actors with strong theatre and television credits, including Neil McDermott, Rachael Wooding and Bob Harm. The show has a score by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance, with a book Garry Marshall and J. F. Lawton (director and screenwriter of the original film, respectively).

Producers have announced that Aimie Atkinson and Danny Mac will portray the timeless characters from one of the most popular love stories in film history. Directed and coreographed by Jerry Mitchell, the show premiered on Broadway last year and has also played in Germany and on tour across the US before its London opening.
